SCUMAXCON 6.5" Car Stereo RCD360 PROII RCD330 Carplay Android Auto Bluetooth USB SD RVC FM for VW Golf MK5 MK6 Passat Caddy Jetta Polo CC EOS (Backup Camera Actived)

OEM style radio looks just like the original but with pumped up sound and CarPlay! Love it! Super easy to install.

Purchased RCD360 Pro II to add android Auto connectivity to 2015 VW Passat. I did a lot of research before purchasing so installation went fairly straightforward; the only time consuming part was running a wire from a reverse light to RGB converter box. The cable harness included with the unit is plug-in, the included antenna adapter is not very good so I purchased a Dual Fakra Car Radio Antenna Adapter instead (ASIN B07QH762D4); YX2216 or similar RGB to AV camera adaptor is required for factory backup camera to work (ASIN B0C9D1VVCL), I tapped the power for it from a cigarette lighter wiring harness. Very pleased with the final result, steering wheel controls work, Bluetooth and wired Android Auto works as expected, sound is good and installed unit looks like it came from factory. Be aware that if you unplug airbag light connector on the dashboard trim the airbag warning light will come on and you will need a VAG-COM or go to dealer to reset it.

The CarPlay music occasionally cuts out. It pauses or the radio shuts off and turns back on. It even disconnects while in a call.It’s a nice clean factory look. It seems to deliver more power than the OEM unit, because the system can go louder than it could before. It’s very easy to install.But that doesn’t matter if it’s not reliable.

Original Review:This radio is an upgrade for my 2012 GTI that originally had the RCD 510. I am very happy with the appearance as it looks completely stock. It's important to note that the RCD330 Plus does not have access to Sirius XM radio. This was not a problem for me because Apple CarPlay was the main reason I purchased this unit and I can still stream XM using the Sirius app on my phone.The unit looked brand new and free of scratches. Installation was a breeze. Everything was plug-and-play. Just make sure you order the correct antenna adapter, which is also available on Amazon. All my steering wheel controls work. I noticed that the USB port is active when the car is turned off, but there has been no issues with battery drain.The only issue I've noticed is that CarPlay can be a bit glitchy. I have no problems with my phone in my other car, so I know it must be this unit. Every once in a while, audio from my phone will cut out. Sometimes it happens in the middle of a drive. Other times there's an issue as soon as I plug in my phone. CarPlay will appear to be working properly on the screen, but music from my phone will not come through the car speakers. Removing and replacing the USB wire always resolves the issue immediately, but it's annoying to deal with. I have tried using generic cables and official Apple cables, but the glitches still remain.Another annoying thing is the back-up camera. Since I don't have one installed on my car, the radio displays a warning that the camera isn't active. Sometimes the warning goes away when I put the car in drive, but most of the time it doesn't go away. I have to tap an X to close out the message manually.All in all, even with the glitches, having access to CarPlay with a stock-looking head unit is worth the minor annoyances. I'm not an Apple fan boy by any stretch of the imagination, but for me, the CarPlay UI delivers a better user experience than any other modern car I have driven.Update December 29, 2019I just upgraded my review from 3 to 4 stars. After about a month of usage I figured out why CarPlay was glitchy. My phone was still connecting to the OEM Bluetooth module. Once I permanently disconnected from my car’s Bluetooth and only relied on the USB connection with the radio, all audio glitches stopped.The only reason why I’m not giving five stars is because the radio keeps looking for a back up camera. Since my 2012 GTI doesn’t have one, I have to manually clear the warning prompt by pressing an X on the screen whenever CarPlay is active. If CarPlay is not in use, the warning prompt usually disappears on its own once the car is over 15 mph.

This was fantastic as I found that through the directions the OEM harness for my 2016 VW Tiguan S trim with rear camera was the exact same and there was no need to use the harness adapter or any of the additional cables. All I had to do was plug in the original OEM harness into the back of the Unit screw back in it was perfect I could not have been any happier. My biggest worry was that the camera was not going to work but it worked great and it seems to be improved with the quality and size of the new unit. everything is seamless with speakers to bluetooth to connected CarPlay and with the steering wheel. I did not opt in to buying the unit with wireless CarPlay be that is was almost and additional 100 bucks and that seems a little steep to me.

I have a 2016 VW Tiguan S and initial bought a RCD330 to get Apple Carplay in my car but it require rewiring the reverse camera and you had to plug in the phone to use Apple Carplay. This unit literally plugged right into the factory wiring and worked flawlessly immediately. I know this is a bit more than the eBay RCD330s they have but this one works 10X better if you have the same vintage VW as me. I highly recommend you spend the extra $ and get this version. Looks 100% factory and you get wireless Apple Carply and your reverse camera works.

This is a great unit. It sounded amazing in my 2014 VW EOS with Dynaudio system. Easy to install
